Carbon tax

This is how the April 1 carbon tax increase will affect gas prices in Ontario

An increase in Canada's carbon pricing plan will make filling up your gas tank more expensive on Friday morning. The carbon tax, which is part of the government's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, will have a direct impact on the cost of gasoline in Ontario.

Starting from April 1, the carbon tax will be applied to every liter of gasoline purchased in the province. This means that consumers will have to pay an additional amount for every liter of gas they buy, making it more expensive to fuel their vehicles.

The purpose of the carbon tax is to encourage individuals and businesses to reduce their carbon footprint by making fossil fuels more expensive. The revenue generated from the carbon tax will be used to invest in clean energy projects and initiatives that aim to combat climate change.

It is important for consumers to be aware of the increase in gas prices due to the carbon tax and to consider alternative modes of transportation or fuel-efficient vehicles. By reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, we can contribute to a greener and more sustainable future.
